keikla Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 http://gazette.com/c...article/1518319 CC coaching search down to 10 candidates... But still leaving the application process open, which I think is interesting. There are a lot of tricky situations with this one. If one assistant coach gets it, does the other resent him for it? Likewise, if someone from outside the program gets the job, are there bad feelings from both assistant coaches? Quote
yzerman19 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 The assistants will have to get on board or find new jobs...just like in business when there is a new boss. Guentzel might be able to take the job and still be heir apparent at U of MN...if he takes CC back to the NCAAs, that only strengthens his resume to be head at U of MN when Donnie steps down. Donnie has at least 5 more years...that's a long time to be in the second seat. If my employer thinks I am on the short list to be CEO when the current one retires, and I leave to be CEO somewhere else and do a good job...I can still come back... Quote
werewolfoflondon Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I would like to see either Guentzel of Eades to get the job. For no other reason than they both have earned a head coaching job. Guentzel though would be the benefit because we know what happened to the rodents without him before. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Guentzel the favorite? Meanwhile, odd that someone coaching in the B1G as a current head coach would be on this finalist list. I'm stunned that the coaches of Penn State, Providence College, and UMass-Lowell are among those 10 finalists... Quote
tnt Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I'm stunned that the coaches of Penn State, Providence College, and UMass-Lowell are among those 10 finalists... Don't know if they are. Doesn't it sound like the assistants are the only two confirmed? That would make sense, since most guys wouldn't want their names as official when they hold other jobs. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 " ... other names making the social media rounds ... " I love it when news sources use internet posting boards (full of speculation and wishful thinking) as "legitimate" sources. Quote

petey23 Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 After careful consideration, I have decided to withdraw my name from the pool and officially announce that I am no longer a candidate for the Colorado College Head Coaching position. Thank you now. Petey23 Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I hear ya there. I read on one board that Goon, Oxbow6, and NorthDakotaHockey are among CC's 10 finalists... Damned straight we are. The CC men's hockey head coaching job is one of the premier job opportunities in all of college hockey. A great program with fine facilities and a reasoned fan base in a fine American city. A great school. There are few coaches around, employed or not, who would not love to have, or return to, that job. I suspect that Lucy agonized over quietly inquiring about the possibility of his returning there to finally bring that school a title. With talent recruited and cultivated by his predecessors. Don's specialty. Guentzel takes over at U of M. Everyone's dream, except mine. If it is in fact offered to me, I will probably accept it. Whoever gets the job will no doubt soon return CC to its preeminent position in the world of the greatest sport on earth. CC shall rise again. And all of the NCHC shall benefit from it. Quote
MafiaMan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 You didn't make the cut? I had a 20-minute phone interview the other day where I explained that my 20+ years of experience playing and managing men's and co-rec broomball, along with multiple league, city, and state championships was more than enough reason to launch my candidacy for the job. That was promptly met with a long pause followed by this question: "What's broomball?" Alas, I was promptly scratched off the list. However, CC did say that I can re-apply for the position of Locker Room Attendant as that position is also available. Quote
NorthDakotaHockey Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 However, CC did say that I can re-apply for the position of Locker Room Attendant as that position is also available. That job requires that one be able to keep their eyeballs in their sockets. I could not and promptly lost the job. Not sure that you could either. Quote

Mariucci Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I would like to see either Guentzel of Eades to get the job. For no other reason than they both have earned a head coaching job. Guentzel though would be the benefit because we know what happened to the rodents without him before. Actually the first down year the Gophers had Guentzel was still there. And Guentzel's time away from the U coincided with Lucia's illness which had a lot to do with those down years. Quote

Then why did he bring back Guentzel after firing him and the team rebounded once he returned? Quote
Mariucci Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Then why did he bring back Guentzel after firing him and the team rebounded once he returned? I'm not saying Guentzel isn't a HUGE reason for the Gophers turnaround as he absolutely is. I want him to be the next head coach and no one else. But the program finished in 6th place his last year with the program and then Lucia got sick as well. It all contributed to the down years. Quote

Or the Gophers were simply not good those years. You know what they say about excuses..... Quote
Goon Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 I miss John Hill behind the Gophers bench, he was comedy gold. 1 Quote

The common denominator is John Hill, and that's where the discussion ends. Quote
tnt Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 Just was reading Dave Starman's season wrap up on College Hockey News, and he mentioned his wife is Shireen Saske, the on ice reporter for CBS. Never heard that was his wife. Hope people don't tell him they love his commentary, but the on ice reporter leaves a little to be desired. Quote
90siouxfan Posted April 25, 2014 Posted April 25, 2014 A good off season thread would be on the antics and thoughts of John Hill, but with so many goofers trolling we may jinx his hoped for reappearance behind the bench of 'merica's team. 1 Quote
